He was born on February 15th, 1972 in Shawnee, Okla., to David L. Denslow and Carol Lynn (Harper) Denslow.
He attended Boston University where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations with a concentration in Business in Economics. He moved to New York City in 1996 where he worked as an analyst for Morgan Stanley and CIBC World Markets, and as a portfolio manager for Hamilton Investment Management.
He returned to Shawnee in 2005 where he earned his Oklahoma Teacher certification and began teaching at Shawnee Public Schools. In 2014 he began teaching at the Jim Thorpe Academy at Shawnee High School.
He will be remembered for his love of family, his quick, and sometimes sharp wit, and his boundless enthusiasm for learning and teaching. He was like a father to his nephew, Thomas, whom he helped to raise on a daily basis. He loved his nephews and niece in Dallas and never missed a chance to spend time with them.
He was preceded in death by his father, David; grandparents, Carol and Thomas E. Harper, and Jean Behlen and Jerry Denslow.
He is survived by his mother, Lynn of the home; sister and nephew, Caroline and Thomas Denslow of Shawnee; brother, Alan and Ladonna Denslow of Dallas; and nephews and niece, Logan, Ian and Linley Denslow of Dallas. He is also survived by many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
